Myspace and Real Estate...

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Locations LLC

Not much of the Baby Boomer realtors will even know what I'm talking about on this.  This is 100% Gen X for sure.  Myspace for me has become fairly affective with past client and fellow Realtor relationships.  There is a huge misconception in regards to the site that all it's for is dating and hooking up.  I couldn't disagree more since I'm a happily married guy whose wife is also on myspace.  I first signed on late in 2004.  Since then I have made 5 sales that started through the site from old friends that I have lost touch with for many years.  Without the site I don't think I would have ever made those sales.  Yes I know 5 doesn't sound like much for almost 2 years but keep in mind that it's all free!!! 

Anyway's just something I wanted to share and no this is not a commercial for the site.

Hi Michael, your post is of great interest to this baby boomer.  How would I find you on MySpace?  Is it invitation only or can I just take a peek?

Interesting! Yes, Ill have to agree with Mike on this one. Ive re-connected with past friends or business associates. I think myspace and active rain should be looked at as a TOOL. Its a way to network as well as keep in touch with people.

Another eye opener Mike.  Thanks!!!  I've gotta get on to help my online presence.  I know a lot of people on it and yet I still haven't joined.  See you soon on Myspace

I think you'll find that myspace is a very effective marketing tool, scantily-clad people and all.  It;s just like TV, you need to focus on the real content.

The demographics are astounding.  The under 30 market is going to fuel the next real estate boom in 10 years when the boomer start selling.  The myspace generation is huge! 

MLS on Myspace is here.   Over 900 carefully screened members belong.
